You can also get to Bethnal Green without going to Z3, changing at Bow

Ah right. *That messes up my query. *I wonder if there is another

Make the destination Hackney Wick instead of Bethnal Green.

Engineering works have inhibited my ability to test this out (and
denied me an opportunity for some tourism in Hackney) but I think that
the only way it could be done in zone 1 and 2 only, without going
through a barrier (thus invalidating the experiment), would be via
Olympia and might take too long, specially with all the changes,
adding an interesting complication if it did decide to asume a PAYG
extension.

Or possibly via Bakerloo and Willesden Junction if that doesn't
involve a barrier, but I can't remember. I am assuming that there is
definitely one at Highbury and Islington.
